Recently the price of cables in nigeria over shoot-up in the market. According to the manufacturers, they said the increase in price was due to dollar to naira value. Not everybody can afford this price and many people want to do their electrical installations of their various projects.

This week Nigerchin cable gave us another price list again with 7.5% increase from the original price. This would be the 4th times Nigerchin cable will increase their price this year.

Now the Questions: why increase in price again when there is stability in the dollar to naira value?
Can't government regulate the price of cables?
Is there any regulatory body assigned to the company producing cables in Nigeria?
Are they importing raw materials to Nigeria?

Not everybody can afford the recent of market price of cables.

The worst part of it now is that there a lot of fake cables in the market which our brothers import to the country and they are not pure copper. Its also labelled Nigerchin. They sell it cheaper and many people don't know. The cable is a mixture of alloy and aluminium.

Recently, Nairaland user called me to come and rectify/solve a problem in a newly completed project that they just moved in. During the troubleshooting to know the causes of breakers tripping-off, we discovered that fake cables were used. Most of the insulation have peeled-off and neutral cables is having contact with live cable. Thank God they use original breakers inside the distribution board that can trip-off when there is surge or bridging the cables if not all the cables would have got burnt. The clients confirmed to me that all the cables were all labelled NIGERCHIN not knowing that they are fake cables.

Kabelmetal and coleman yet to bring out their new rate. We don't know what tomorrow will.

I pray our incoming government to do something on this.

The price listed above is directly from factory. A coil is 100m and alaba market cable is 85m and its not an original nigerchin but u will definitely see Nigerchin label on the cable. There are a lot that cable in the market. I order my own from a factory through their distributor

This is a very useless post for the following reasons

1. Why single out an ethnic group as importers of substandard cables. Are Igbo people the only importers of cables in the country. You are obviously a prejudice d individual.

2. In a free market economy, there are many things that drive pricing of products including cost of production, demand and supply. If you take your focus away from Igbo people and do some research about forex availability in the interbank and parallel market, perhaps you may understand.

3. Have you ever heard of competitive market? If you are not satisfied with one seller, you go to another one and buy.

4. What has your "Igbo brothers" like you call them have to do with a prospective landlord, electrician or contractor who deliberately buys substandard cables or who cannot tell a substandard cable from a standard one.

5. Are you not aware that your "Igbo brothers" also manufacture Cutix Cables, amongst others, which are preferred cables of acclai!ed quality.

Dude, think through your "thoughts" before you air them on public forum. Better that people suspect you to be a fo*l than that you speak and confirm their suspicion.

My oga can I send you the price list through mail. The reason why I don't want to post is that cable prices change without notice. It was last I received a call that the price of cables have change again. People have been calling that I posted a wrong cable price. It will be very difficult for me to update it if there is change in price.

Thanks
